Any idea how to make a dismissable announcement bar? I tried a modal but did not like it. Or a toast announcement would be ok too I guess. ---

Nevermind, I just went ahead and created one with a custom component. ---

Hi @jonm If you’re interested, **[SmartBar](https://www.rwpro.space/preview/smartbar/)** component has an **Announcements** feature that does exactly what you’re looking for. You can see it in actino in **[Demo 5](https://www.rwpro.space/preview/smartbar/demos/demo-5/)**. ---

I’m liking the free Component, but Pro-one-for-money-does-more standard that seems to be developing. I want to encourage that more. Thing is, we can drag a free Component into our design and decide if that’s what we really wanted, and then if it is but we need the deeper capabilities it’s also easy enough to just buy and install the for-money one and replace the free one. ---
